This is how the anti crease option works.
• Make sure that the anti crease option has been set. The
option is designed to prevent creases that are formed when
the clothes are not unloaded promptly after the drying
cycle. When the option is set, the appliance runs for 10
seconds and pauses for 5 minutes. The option is works for
up to 2 hours.
Heat settings, load size, or dampness of clothing is not
consistent.
• The drying time for a load will vary depending on the type
of heat used (electric), the size of the load, the type of
fabrics, the wetness of the clothes, and lint filter. Even an
unbalanced load in the appliance can cause poor spinning,
resulting in wetter clothes which will take longer to dry.
Fabric softener is used incorrectly.
• When washing clothes that are to be dried in the appliance,
use the correct amount of fabric softener as recommended
by the manufacturer of the fabric softener.
Clean and dirty clothes are being dried together.
• Use the appliance to dry only clean items. Soil from dirty
clothes can transfer to the clean clothes in the same or later
loads.
Clothes were not properly cleaned or rinsed before being
placed in the appliance.
• Stains on dried clothes could be stains that were not
removed during the washing process. Make sure that
clothes are being completely cleaned or rinsed according to
the instructions for your washing machine and detergent.
Some difficult soils may require pre-treating prior to
washing.
